I have no specialty whatsoever in the topic that this book covers but I was intrigued because it shares the same name with not one but two other books that I've read (and that given the subject matter I think are actually more appropriately named).
I don't know if you have a JSTOR account but all three of these reviews are positive, including from an initially skeptical Japanologist:

Ah well, thanks for trying. Here's a book I thought was pretty great.
Basic thesis is that the Algerian War was the blueprint for essentially all of the Wars of Decolonization during the 50s, 60s, and 70s--and even the Iraqi and Afghan wars of the 00s. I thought it was very illuminating.
